**Found:** a real genre of workplace architecture. The week view with no white space, a stolen Focus block, and a Friday wrap that is another status meeting. Nobody designed a job that looks like this. Everyone defends the calendar as if they did.  You have lived inside this grid. You have also opened someone else's week, felt a flicker of pity, and then accepted the next invite because declining looked like a lack of commitment. ## The dry line A full calendar is not a full role. It is proof that nobody owns your attention except the invite button. If Friday still has no empty square, the work did not get denser. The meetings did. Protect one block next week, or the grid will keep writing the job for you.
